Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Panthers: B.

There is a lot to like until you notice safety is still a hole. The Panthers never got to the one that mattered most.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hill. Every board in the league had Gadson lower, and that gap is the story.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Cam Coleman
In pick 19 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick51 Rnd2 Trevor Goosby
Trevor Goosby in the 51st overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick83 Rnd3 Tavion Gadson
A premium they did not need to pay, Tavion Gadson a notch or two before his time. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick119 Rnd4 Williams Nwaneri
Williams Nwaneri at Round 4, Pick 19 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jyaire Hill
Nice patience on Jyaire Hill, who had no business lasting to pick No. 156. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick157 Rnd5 Michael Hershey
By-the-book stuff, Michael Hershey at No. 157 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick198 Rnd6 Amare Campbell
Amare Campbell in the 198th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick235 Rnd7 Isaiah Augustave
A clean, defensible pick in slot 235 with a little surplus value in Isaiah Augustave. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
